If your engine is idling and the clutch is out you will get a bit more noise from the drivetrain. Sounds like nothing to worry about if it goes away if you go a bit faster

Has your injector sorted your poor idling?

It just sounds strange only at low speed only but can't feel anything through steering brakes nothing like that just sounds like dry bearing sound but like I say once driving at normal speeds quiet like it should be only does it again if I stop and leave the car for a while
